I sincerely wish the proud owner to call his personal favorite house - and take "Rome is in the smallest hut" so literally - a "villa." However, when used by house suppliers for a substitute villa, I find the term almost disdainful compared to the customers' house-building dreams. By the way, are the pictures from your house (one, what was it again, Muthesius-?-student)?What do you call a small single-family house, 2 full floors, tent or hip roof, best?
I don't quite understand your response, but I find it funny. I like to laugh, even at myself.Wrong headline! Where did the 3 dots in the teaser text go?
I would have found the following appropriate:
"He thought it was a city villa, but what then happened is unbelievable..."
or
"90% of all Germans make THIS serious mistake when buying real estate"
Houses with 2 full floors and a hipped roof were the usual architectural style for wealthy families in the city during the 1920s and 1930s; often great attention was also paid to the symmetry of the buildings. I would describe something like that as a classic urban villa.
The simpler (settlement) houses of the time mostly had only a ground floor and above that an attic with a fairly steep roof pitch and no knee wall.
But from what size and plot area can one call a new house a villa? From 150m2 of living space? From 300m2? From a value of 1 million (then even the 120m2 house in Munich or Stuttgart would be a villa)?
The term townhouse is already used for often 3 or more story terraced houses on narrow plots.
What would be the best name for a small single-family house, 2 full floors, tent or hipped roof then?

The term "Anstatt-Villa" is great, I will use it from now on. Do I always have to mention that you hold the copyright for "Anstatt-Villa"?No, it is no coincidence that I prefer the term "Anstatt-Villa"
